INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug. A bold
attempt at train robbery was made on the

About midnight the switchman in the
Panhandle freight yards discovered five
men rob6ing car of merchandise. They
attempted to capture the robbers, but
were compelled to throw UP their hands
and walk away. Two or three hours
later five men, supposed to be the same
persons who robbed the car, stopped an
outgoing freight train just beyond the
city limits. While the engineer and train
men were covered with revolvers the cars
were all examined, but the robbers failed
to find anything they wanted, and allowed
the train to proceed on the trip. The
robbers disappeared in the fields along
the road. None of them were masked

ELASTIC GUN WADDING.

vJVHE undersigned begs leave to call attention
to the MERINO ELASTIC FELT GUN
WADDING, the only perfectly safe waddlng TOR
choke-bore breech- loading shot guns. by the
use of this wad the recol of gun is lessened the
distribution Of the shot is more regular, and the
range and penetration are greater. Another ad-
vantage is that the gun is kept cleaner than
when any other wad is used. Try them. They
are put up in boxes holding 256 wads and are
made in two grades. The price for the first grade
is forty cents per box the second grade twenty
five cents. The first grade should be used over
the powder-the second grade over the shot.
The first grade wads are from one-half to three
eiphts of an inch in thickness, which makes them
cheaper than any other wad in the market, as
oliv one of the first grade wads is necessary on
The powder and one of the second grade over
the shot to give the best results. If you use a
12 gauge gun with brass shells, buy NO. Wads.
For paper shells use No. IL wads For guns OF
different gauge for brass shells, use wad three
sizes larger than the bore; for paper shells, one
size larger BY this means the gases from the
powder will be perfectly confined and the very
best results obtained.
Sample boxes will he sent by mail on receipt
of forty cents for the first grade, and twenty
cents for the second grade. Address,

yB1HE immense amount of Life Insurance car
\ red in this country makes it OF National
importance that heads of families should be able
to securet as cheaply as possible consistent with
safety Especially is this necessary for the mil
lions of men in moderate circumstances, who
must earn their living by hard knocks and In
the face of a competition that is becoming keen
er and sharper every day.
If life insurance is not SAFE IT IS not worth car
rying. and if it is too costly, the men who most
need it cannot carry it all. How to make it both
safe and cheap is the problem OF the day, and he
who solves it will have done a great and patriot
ic service for his fellow men. Ihe Cld Line
| Companies are certainly safe when honestly
! managed but their rates are so nigh, That only
the rich can afford to carry such an amount as
would provide for a family, while the great mass
| of men, and those too, whose families most need
protection, are compelled to 60 without insur-
ance or seek it in the assessment companies or
secret orders. The fact that these cheaper insti-
! tutions are to-day furnishing more insurance
than all the Old Line companies combined, shows
how eager are the mass Of citizens for insurance
that is within reach of their means. While these
orders and corporations are furnishing insurance
cheap enough, yet, at BEST they can only be
| looked upon as temporary expedients and not al
together satisfactory. BUTT is plain, that some
where between the old line and assessment plans
there must be middle ground which is not
only safe. but just md tar to MI parties
THE EINTER-STATES LIFE ASSOCIATION
of Staunton, Va, has sought earnestly and hon
estly to find this middle ground In this search
they have at large expense, consulted and en-
| ployed the foremost actuaries and insurance ex-
rperls in this country, and upon their recommen
tation have adopted n line Of rates which is en-
tirey safe. and yet, is in the reach Of every
thrifty and Industrious man who desires to pro-
tect his family against his death.
TO ascertain this safe rate, they added to the
actuul death cost experienced by the old line COM
panes an ample reserve. and then reasonable
amount for expenses and profits, but so limited
as to compel economical management. So plain
and fair and popular are its methods that over
three millions Of business was done in the first
eight months work. Its rates are fixed, and
must be paid, deaths no deaths, but are divided
into two, FOUR or six payments year, as may
best suit the convenience Of the applicant.
